I see. Unfortunately I was in a rush so did not install the
dependencies one by one...
Its sure that erlang-asn1 was missing. But I am not sure it was the
only one (since it was quicker to get the whole erlang package).
Thanks

Hi Vivek!
There was a reason to not have just yum install erlang since it gets
also, for example, wxwidget dependencies which aren't uses in CouchDB
and almost useless on servers.
Is the erlang-asn1 the only missed component?

Yes there was a missing dependency to erlang-asn1 on centos 6.4
Perhaps the wiki document
(http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/install/unix.html ) can just say yum
install erlang instead of several (but incomplete) erlang-* it installs.
The complete erl package does get this specific dependency (and any others
if they were missing)
Thanks

asn1 comes from your erlang install, we don't ship it, but it implies
you're missing standard parts of erlang. I'm assuming debian or
ubuntu, therefore "apt-get install erlang-asn1" and probably others.
The policy that forces package maintainers to subdivide erlang because
it's possible but not wise irks me.

{app_would_not_start,asn1} is pretty telling.
try 'erl' then "application:start(asn1)." and see what error you get.
If it's a not_started for some other app, try starting that one.
You'll probably do this a few times before finding the thing that
fails to start. Likely, it will be one that requires zlib or libssl or
something.

Hi
I was following the steps given in
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/install/unix.html for couchdb 1.5
install
from source.
After installing dependencies through the yum commands, I could build
and
install couchdb. Next I made changes to its home directory and gave
permissions for user couchdb to those directories.
Then I started couchdb but got error :
sudo -i -u couchdb /usr/local/bin/couchdb
{"init terminating in
do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{{app_would_not_start,asn1},{couch_app,start,[normal,["/usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]}}}},[{couch,start,0},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}
Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()
Both erl and js-devel versions appear to be reasonable for what is
given
in
the install guide.
The crash dump is a large file. Is there any guide on how to actually
locate what is causing the problem?
Thank you
Vivek
